Description
- The present invention relates to self-service kiosks and more specifically to a method of displaying information by a network kiosk.[0001]
- Retailers have a desire to sell their products over networks, such as global networks which are a part of the World Wide Web (WWW or “web”) and which use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP protocol). These retailers wish to provide Internet server web sites which offer the same features as Internet server web sites available to home shoppers who use their computers to connect to the Internet server web sites.[0002]
- Kiosks provide a publicly-accessible computing platform for displaying web pages from retailer web sites. Kiosks may be located within a retailer's transaction establishment or elsewhere, such as in shopping malls. Kiosks may be easily networked to retailer web sites using the TCP/IP protocol. Web pages from web sites may be displayed using known and available web software, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer software.[0003]
- When not in use, a network kiosk may be configured to display advertisements and other attracting information. The kiosk stops the display when an operator begins use of the kiosk.[0004]
- It would be advantageous instead for the kiosk to sense the presence of an operator and automatically display a start or “home” page. It would also be advantageous for the kiosk to display different attracting information at different sensed distances of nearby people.[0005]
- In accordance with the teachings of the present invention, a method of displaying information by a network kiosk is provided.[0006]
- The method includes the steps of sensing a person within a predetermined distance of the kiosk, displaying first information, timing a time period, and displaying second information if the person did not begin use of the kiosk within the time period.[0007]
- It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a method of displaying information by a network kiosk.[0008]
- It is another object of the present invention to display information which may attract a person to use the kiosk if the person passes within a predetermined distance of the kiosk.[0009]
- It is another object of the present invention to display first information when a person is within a predetermined distance of the kiosk and second information if the person fails to operate the kiosk within a predetermined period of time.[0010]
- Additional benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention relates from the subsequent description of the preferred embodiments and the appended claims, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:[0011]

Web browser software 32 allows an operator to access information and purchase products from retailers throughnetwork 14, which preferably includes World Wide Web (WWW or “web”) servers.Web browser software 32 may include commercially-available web browser software, such as Microsoft® Internet Explorer web browser software. Microsoft® Internet Explorer web browser software is configured into a kiosk operation using a “-k” command line option. This option hides toolbars and menubars to prevent operator access to those functions. - [0020]
Web browser software 32 retrieves and displaysweb pages 44 fromnetwork 14, which includes a plurality of interconnected servers.Web pages 44 include web pages which display information about products and services offered by the kiosk owner as well as other web pages.Web pages 44 assist operators to find information about products sold by the kiosk owner and to complete purchases of such products. For this purpose,web pages 34 may include a start or “home” page which operates as a default page from which operation begins and to which operation returns when an operator is finished usingkiosk 12.Web pages 44 may be written using hypertext markup language (HTML) or other suitable web page language. - [0021]
Web wrapper software 36 provides security functions. During operation,web wrapper software 36 prevents an operator from accessing kiosk files, other applications, the operating system software, or basic input-output system (BIOS) firmware, and prevents the operator from causingkiosk 12 to reboot. - Under the present invention,[0022]
web wrapper software 36 additionally manages display ofdisplay content 34 while kiosk12 is not in use.Web wrapper software 36 may causedisplay 40 to display first information when no one is nearkiosk 12 and then switch to second information when a person passes bykiosk 12. Operation may fall back to the first information ifkiosk 12 is not operated within a predetermined period of time.Web wrapper software 36 determines display content usingdisplay configuration file 38. Display content information may be coded intoweb wrapper software 36 or listed indisplay configuration file 38 to allow a kiosk owner to control operation. - The first information may include no information at all, but preferably includes some kind of advertising such as video or still frame advertisements. The advertising may be with or without sound. The advertising may be unfocused on any particular product area.[0023]

Memory 20 is used byprocessor 16 to store executed program information, including web wrapper software information. - [0027]
Storage medium 22 stores software includingweb wrapper software 36.Storage medium 22 also storesdisplay content 34 anddisplay configuration file 38. - MSR[0028]24 reads loyalty, credit, debit, SMART, and/or other types of cards carried by an operator. MSR24 may record personal information from an operator.
- [0029]
Printer 26 prints information fromweb wrapper software 32, including information onweb pages 44 fromnetwork 14. For example,printer 26 may print information relevant to a transaction completed by anoperator using kiosk 12. - [0030]
Scanner 28 reads bar codes on products to obtain product identification numbers.Kiosk 12 queries a transaction server with the identification numbers to obtain information about the product and displays the information. - [0031]
Proximity sensor 30 senses motion of people nearkiosk 12.Proximity sensor 30 may be an ambient light sensor which senses a drop in ambient light as people pass bykiosk 12. - Turning now to FIG. 2,[0032]
security configuration file 38 includes entries DISPLAY INFORMATION for each state ofkiosk 12. Illustrated here are two states, QUIET and ATTRACT. - Entry QUIET identifies a first state entered by[0033]
kiosk 12 after a predetermined period of non-use. - Entry ATTRACT identifies a second state entered by[0034]
kiosk 12 after a signal fromproximity sensor 30. - Entry DISPLAY INFORMATION describes information from[0035]
display content 34 whichweb wrapper software 36 will cause to be displayed during the corresponding state. - Turning now to FIG. 3, the method of the present invention is illustrated beginning with[0036]
START 60. - In[0037]
step 62,web wrapper software 36 waits for a proximity signal fromproximity sensor 30. - In[0038]
step 64,web wrapper software 36 readsdisplay configuration file 38 to determinedisplay content 34 to display under the ATTRACT state. - In[0039]
step 66,web wrapper software 36 causes display40 to displaycontent 34 for the ATTRACT state. - In[0040]
step 68,web wrapper software 36 initializes a timeout period. - In[0041]
step 70,web wrapper software 36 determines whether a signal fromproximity sensor 30 has been received since the timeout period was initialized. If so, operation returns to step68 to reinitialize the timeout period, based upon the assumption that a person is going to usekiosk 12. Continual reinitialization of the time period occurs while the person is usingkiosk 12. If a signal fromproximity sensor 30 has not been received since the timeout period was last initialized, operation proceeds to step72. - In[0042]
step 72,web wrapper software 36 determines whether the timeout period has expired. If not, operation returns to step70, otherwise, operation proceeds to step74. - In step[0043]74,
web wrapper software 36 readsdisplay configuration file 38 to determinedisplay content 34 to display under the QUIET state. - In[0044]
step 76,web wrapper software 36 causes display40 to displaycontent 34 for the QUIET state. Operation returns to step62 to wait for another proximity signal. - Although the present invention has been described with particular reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, variations and modifications of the present invention can be effected within the spirit and scope of the following claims.[0045]
